San Francisco Police Department has released footage of two recent Apple store robberies in the Bay Area, which took place on November 25 and November 29 (respectively) in the vicinity of Chestnut Street in San Francisco. The first video captures three perpetrators daringly walk in, grab whatever they can and swiftly storm out – and all of that in the window of less than 15 seconds. Similarly, the second clip catches four men perform the same maneuver with almost identical pace.

While Cupertino initially believed the malfunction only affects limited number of iPhones manufactured between September and October 2015, it appears the issue might be much more widespread after all. In a new press release (in Chinese), the Big A detailed some of the reasons that could be causing the battery glitch, blaming the bug on prolonged exposure to air prior&#8230; <br><br><a href="http://thenextweb.com/apple/2016/12/06/apple-iphone-6s-battery-issue-explained/?utm_source=social&#038;utm_medium=feed&#038;utm_campaign=profeed">This story continues</a> at The Next Web<br/><br/>Or just read more coverage about: <a href='http://thenextweb.com/company/apple/'>Apple</a><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheNextWebApplicious/~4/xF3jmqLy2uM" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>http://thenextweb.com/apple/2016/12/06/apple-iphone-6s-battery-issue-explained/feed/0http://thenextweb.com/apple/2016/12/06/apple-iphone-6s-battery-issue-explained/Some MacBook Pro with Touch Bar owners are reporting serious battery issueshttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheNextWebApplicious/~3/4o_RUn2Gwkg/

Among other platforms, Apple’s support community and Reddit are filled with complaints from customers claiming they aren’t getting even half of the ten hours of battery that was advertised when they purchased the device. “I just received my new 15″ MacBook Pro with touch bar.

The rumors were right. In a letter to US regulators, the company said there were “significant societal benefits of automated vehicles,” and it is “excited about the potential of automated systems in many areas, including transportation.” The five page letter to the the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) confirmed that the company is investing heavily in the concept, and that it wants to help develop industry best practices. It also acknowledged that there are significant ethical issues relating to autonomous cars.

Thousands of these are sold each year, and according to a recent study: 99 percent of them failed safety tests. Commissioned by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI) — the UK consumer protection body — and based on data from UL, the study tested 400 chargers purchased online, of which three passed a basic safety test. The most common problem was insufficient insulation to protect users from electric shock, a problem that could also cause fires.

That’s 75 days where customers were promised the solution to all of our headphone jack-less iPhone’s would soon come to an end. 75 days where iPhone owners were required to either purchase a third-party solution or use an adapter to connect Apple’s own headphones to its flagship mobile device. It’s also nearly 11 weeks, one missed deadline, and a rumor that we wouldn’t see the maligned earbuds until 2017. Today, though… today could be the day we’ve been waiting for.

According to multiple reports of users, updating to iOS 10.1.1 has a nasty surprise in store for some. In a thread on Apple’s support forums that’s grown to 13 pages, complaints are shared about various iPhone models turning off when the battery falls below a certain percentage. The original post explains that the phone dies when there’s 30 percent charge left, and many others have since replied that they’re experiencing the same.

The company is the most valuable one in the world, and it sits upon a veritable Mount Everest of cash. But one industry analyst thinks that the good times are about to come to an end, with the company will soon enter a “decade-long malaise.” Oh dear. Models created by Oppenheimer analyst Andrew Uerkwitz suggest that sales of the iPhone (which accounts for an astronomical share of Apple’s profits) are going to peak with next year’s 10th anniversary model.

While there’s no clear timeline for its release, the publication speculates the new technology will power Apple’s next-generation lineup of products, starting with the new iPhone.
